How I Lost Brain Cells Today
Its July 5, 2005, the fireworks are over, combat Vets can relax again for another year and various politicians can check the polls to see if their speeches created a rise in popularity. Meanwhile, more GIs are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan midst the fireworks and various spoutings of patriotism at home.
President in a Bubble gave a speech at the University of West Virginia where he promised to remember NSC 68 and the Carter Doctrine for next year. PIB also stated he will recall his name at the beginning of the speech instead of the end for next July 4th. There are 50-1 odds he won't.
Karl Rove was seen buying a ouija board at a local spiritual shop prompting speculation he will attemtpt to divine himself out of trouble. Problem is, the CIA has larger boards and have been working at it a lot longer. Besides, President In A Bubble has a big problem with Karl. On one hand, if Karl is indicted and convicted of a major felony then the President has to decide whether to possibly pardon him, but doing so means going so on crime and anyone else who outs a CIA agent. Conversely, letting him carry the felony to a prison term could mean Karl opening up his box of secrets much to PIB's chagrin. What is a President to do? Well, he could start by doing something new and different, TELL THE TRUTH!! Then Karl could take his lumps and room with Ken Lay; together they could spin a new career for Lay to control energy sources in Iraq and Afghanistan. They could call the new corporation, JUSTDESERTS!!
Congress voted to reestblish the original Veterans spending into this year's budget much to President In A Bubble's dismay. George really has a hard time with Vets and I believe the reason has been ascertained. You see, George is not a Veteran since all his time was with the National Guard. National Guard duty is honorable, but PIB even messed that up by losing something like 15 months. 15 months of not checking in, drilling, etc., which normally would have meant desertion status, court martial and hard time breaking rocks. PIB, however, had a daddy who was a Representative and George submitted his resignation to attend Business School at Harvard. Now, this is where it gets interesting. George had been unceremoniously tossed off flight status in May, 1972, after he failed to undergo a flight physical. Simulataneously he was working in an inner city Houston program called Project PULL for some reason. Hmmmmmm He then tried to get a transfer to Alabama to work on a political campaign, but was first disapproved, but then was approved. Off he went to Alabama and never checked in. After not being around for several months, he suddenly proffered his resignatin to attend graduate school in Harvard. Off he went to Harvard with still two years left on his military obligation and a Texas Air National Guard discharge in his hand. BUT, to do so he had to sign an agreement to find a guard or reserve unit in the Boston area to complete his obligation. Well, George had more important things to do and simply did not show up at all. Now, the moral of this story is twofold: 1) Veterans funding are always easy pickings for Republicans since GIs are expendable; and 2) George is so jealous that the title of Veteran really has meaning to a lot of honorable mean and women who served with distinction. Something he couldn't and wouldn't do. Also, GIs got a GI Bill whereas PIB had to have Daddy give millions for a new building for him to get into Harvard. Wouldn't it have been simpler to just get drafted, learn some responsibility, and do your duty rather than have Daddy's friends pull strings for you to enter the Guard 3 days after graduating from Yale and then receive a direct commission hardly qualified for. Somewhere, there is a tolerable smell in Texas and it comes from Camp Mabry! George is just jealous and he just can't handle the envy for someone who can get a job done without one of his Daddy's frineds finishing it for him. Gosh, get him back to the ball park!!
Tom Cruise is engaged as if anyone really cares!! I always liked Katie Holmes, but wonder where her head is at these days? Perhaps she needs a conference call with Nicole Kidman, Mimi Rodgers and Penelope Cruz to straighten everything out or perhaps that not in L. Ron Hubbard's book.
President In A Bubble is scheduled to go to Europe this week if he can find enough hydrogen for the bubble. He wants to reassure the European Union their Euro is still stronger than the dollar despite himself. Europe is not impressed.
Okay, my checkings account is so stretched it is unbelievable! I keep wondering what it would be like to earn money for sensible writing and then look at Ann Coulter who does the opposite. If only I could produce theater like that, generate that much animosity and appear to suffer from such a lack of knowledge...I know, perhaps dreams will come true, but then I would have to give up common sense and really meaningful college degrees; perhaps even reading and writing! O Woe is me!
On that note, the magic hand has struck 2:21 AM and I have to be at my adopted Mom's place to cut her olleanders, dig that OLLEANDERS, like bushes, at 5 o'clock in the morning to cut them back. Now, she's one heck of a lady-two hip replacements, two carpal tunnel operations on her hands, two knee replacements and one hellatious attitude that keeps me straight. No grass grows under her feet and she even busier know that when doing duties as a school psychologist. Tell you a secret, though>she doesn't like politics being discussed in her home, but thinks Bush needs to come back from recess. WHOAAAAAAAA....
